Narrative:
After the morning preflight task of checking weather; notams; and the aircraft; I departed for my morning flights. No applicable notams existed for the first two airports. While enroute to my second airport; center gave me a NOTAM that runway xx/xy was closed for the day. ZZZ asked me to report checking weather and asked for landing intentions. Upon listening to the AWOS; the winds were being reported between 13007 and 14007. I elected to do a straight in to runway xz/xa; accepting the light crosswind and tailwind; both of which I estimated at less than 5 kts.the runway length was 3002 feet and dry. I had previously landed on this runway with light crosswinds and no trouble. The approach end of xz sits at a small bluff. The runway has a crown at the intersection of xx/xy and xz/xa beyond which a downhill slope exists. I planned the approach to the numbers but at the last moment I experienced a slight updraft that caused me to touchdown long. The longer touchdown was created by a wind shift directly from behind and the subsequent updraft from the bluff.immediately upon landing brakes and reverse thrust was applied. I crossed the intersection of the runways and was on the downhill slope. Once I realized I may not be able to stop; it was too late for a go-around. Continuing the stopping action was my safest action. The aircraft came to rest half of the end of the runway. I shut down the aircraft and completed a walk around when I observed a REIL lying on the ground and propeller damage.after the fact; there were two things that should have or could have been done. Refuse landing and go on to next destination. I should have made the landing into the predominant forecast of 17008 with the later taf. Estimating winds from the south at 15-25 kts.
